This portfolio comprises three research projects undertaken between 2001 and 2004, and is a response to both the broad and local contexts of my work as an English as a second language (ESL) educator in a business faculty at an Australian university. Based in my own experience, and foregrounded by my perspectives on education generally and international education specifically, I have used an overarching practitioner research approach. The contextual literature underpinning the three inter-related projects is provided by globalisation and neoliberalism, the changed landscape of higher education in Australia, the internationalisation of higher education, teaching English as a second language (TESOL), English as an international language (EIL), Australian academic standards and intercultural communication. / Thesis (PhDEducation)--University of South Australia, 2005.
